pretty blue birds

Happy Monday and July! Hope your weekend was most lovely and relaxing! I was able to finally complete one of the sweet vintage blue birds embroidery patterns that I bought a few weeks ago. 
 
This was the first time that I actually ironed on the pattern. I usually copy it, then transfer it using a washable marker. I was so tempted to give the ironing a try this time, so I did, and I really loved how fast and easy it was. I might have to do this more often. ;) 
 Here is a little peek at what I am making with the pretty blue birds. I have some hand quilting and a few other finishing touches to do. Can't wait for you to see what it is! ;)
I had ordered some mini vintage flags, and they finally came! I decided to put them into some vintage spools to add to my red, white, and blue decor. Such a sweet display!
For you strawberry lovers, I was lucky to come across another vintage strawberry tablecloth, so I am working on some more vintagey tea towels, that should be in the shoppe by the end of the week. Wishing you all a wonderful day!!

thank you...


Thank you, thank you... for all of your sweet and encouraging comments yesterday!! It means so much to me!! The Lord has truly blessed me with all of you lovelies!!  It was such an amazing day, and I am beyond thrilled to have my shoppe open! It is so fun!


When vintage treasure hunting, I always keep my eye out for these beauties! I have such a special place in my heart for adorable vintage oil lamps!! There is just something about them, that just makes my heart happy! 

This is one of my favorites that I bought at an estate sale! I love the milk glass bottom, and the pretty amber glass, with the scalloped edge on the top. It reminds me of a flower blooming!! And, since I don't have a beautiful garden of flowers to show you...this will be my spring blossom!! ;) 


I hope that you are having a wonderful day, and if you haven't had a chance to enter into my giveaway, you still have time!!! The winner will be announced on Monday, April 23rd!
